How does sign in/out work?

Sign in/out functionality creates an electronic attendance record and a quick way to add attendees during classroom-based courses

Instructor led courses have an option to enable Sign In/Out in the instance settings. This creates an electronic sign-in sheet for the instance. 

An instructor, or other user with rights to edit the course roster, should login and navigate to the roster for the instance. If Sign In/Out is enabled, a link to the sheet is available as a Roster option. 

Click the Sign In link to open the sheet. Users enrolled in the Instance are listed alphabetically by last name with users who have already "clocked in" listed at the bottom. 

A user would (1) enter their EmployeeID, BadgeID, UserID or username and (2) click 'Sign In'. That will (3) timestamp the user and refresh the screen allowing the next user to enter their ID and repeat the process. 

Additional Attendees can be added quickly to the roster and signed-in by clicking the [Actions] button, entering one of the pieces of identifiable information for the user, and clicking [Add Attendees]. 

Once all users have signed in, close the pop-up window to return to the Instance list.  

Some frequently asked questions about this feature:

Q: Does this automatically mark completions?

A: No, the sign-in information is visible on the sign-in sheet for reference but does not automatically mark users. 

Q: Can the sign-in be used on multiple "kiosks" or computers at the same time? 

A: Yes, especially convenient for large sessions, several computers can be used for participants to register their attendance. When the page refreshes after submission, any other entries that have been added will appear on the page. 

Q: Can this be used for virtual classroom courses? 

A: Unfortunately, no since it requires access to the roster to load the sign-in sheet.
